It's daffodil season in the PNW!

I'm delighted to have been addicted to "The Residence" on Netflix. Very reminiscent of "Clue" with homage to other great "who dunnit" shows. The best and most interesting part? Uzo Aduba (who played Crazy Eyes in "Orange is the New Black" really stuns as the genius detective.

Find Lord Capon?! I have a higher priority!

Life and light returning today in small glimpses.

Omg brr. Freyja is enjoying the snow much more than myself when she takes her time to potty at night. I won't begrudge her wonder, but damnit this CA girl is cold!

Spring's frozen cloak brings me hope and joy today. I've never had my own home before where I could pre-plant spring bulbs and enjoy them bursting forth. Daffodils, tulips, lily of the valley, and hellebore are sprouting through the snow.

Game Devs you are allowed to not add all the accessibility ❤️

Focus on one or two things you can do REALLY well, that match your games core values, and you will do better than most games out there!

Wow, this really sucks. Dark Horse was one of the last remaining Direct Market creator-owned publishers that treated you right and didn't grab your rights.

Lookin' fly in her b!tch britches (surgisuit) post-op.

I found his name in my chart. Dr. Amaranth Ramakrishnan. Was I high AF and in a lot of septic pain? Yes. Was he really a pokemon trainer? Nah. Did this man save my life? Absolutely. I want to hug him but I'm in pain and it's likely unhygienic. Luv u Doc. 🫶🤘

He had his *own* helicopter to arrive in, and a fancy entourage. He was a muscularly squat Indian man with white anime hairstyle and lime green glasses. His laugh filled the room and he held my hand firmly while I went under anesthesia. Thank you Dr. X!

Freyja and I are out of surgery and home! She got spayed. I had my gallbladder removed, twice. I had such an odd case for gallbladder removal that for pt2, this super famous surgeon flew in from Issaquah.

i just don’t need to read about any more of these people’s dork-ass parties tbh

check out some great and super helpful people

Nope. No scary GSDs here. Just a giant miniature Northwestern Couch Snail. She loves pets and long walks lined with steak.

☝🏼 Now is a great time to get those encrypted apps, secure your accounts, and keep your personal life off the public internet.

Our checklist is here to help. There's tips on organizing mutual aid groups, attending protests, getting reproductive care, etc. etc.

Soon I'll be getting Freyja evaluated for Service Dog training. I'll be interviewing a few trainers in the next few days. It's a big investment, I know, but it will change both our lives positively!
What's that I'm feeling...hope?

The dogs were good today! I mean, mostly. It's been very chilly but my GSD isn't bothered by the cold. I should take her "up to the snow" soon so I can introduce her to it. The joy of "first experiences" is still motivating for me.

some buds act like it is so hard to love but it is so easy. you just do nothing. in the absence of all things, we just love. it is what we are built to do. just strip off everything else, all the baggage, and love is underneath

I wake up in the morning. I sit at my computer. The internet screams at me that the world is on fire. I am overwhelmed by the deluge of bad news and faceplant in front of the computer.

I would like this comic I drew in 2017 to stop being relevant pleeeaaaaase

This semester I have students analyze games through the "Narrative Lens". The 3rd game I have them experience is "Inscryption". Today, a student arrived with a heartwarming gift for me, a 3D printed copy of Leshy's bell from the game table. It rings! I did ask to ensure no actual teeth were used.
